Abstract
Craniofacial development is a complex and tightly regulated process and disruptions can lead to structural birth defects, the most common being nonsyndromic cleft lip and palate (NSCLP). Previously, we identified FOS as a candidate regulator of NSCLP through family-based association studies, yet its specific contributions to oral and palatal formation are poorly understood. This study investigated the role of fos during zebrafish craniofacial development through genetic disruption and knockdown approaches. Fos was expressed in the periderm, olfactory epithelium and other cell populations in the head. Genetic perturbation of fos produced an abnormal craniofacial phenotype with a hypoplastic oral cavity that showed significant changes in midface dimensions by quantitative facial morphometric analysis. Loss and knockdown of fos caused increased cell apoptosis in the head, followed by a significant reduction in cranial neural crest cells (CNCCs) populating the upper and lower jaws. These changes resulted in abnormalities of cartilage, bone and pharyngeal teeth formation. Periderm cells surrounding the oral cavity showed altered morphology and a subset of cells in the upper and lower lip showed disrupted Wnt/β-catenin activation, consistent with modified inductive interactions between mesenchymal and epithelial cells. Taken together, these findings demonstrate that perturbation of fos has detrimental effects on oral epithelial and CNCC-derived tissues suggesting that it plays a critical role in zebrafish craniofacial development and a potential role in NSCLP.

[PMID: 32378701 DOI: 10.1093/humupd/dmaa016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/17/2019] [Revised: 03/11/2020] [Indexed: 02/07/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Members of the cysteine-rich secretory proteins (CRISPS), antigen 5 (Ag5) and pathogenesis-related 1 (Pr-1) (CAP) superfamily of proteins are found across the bacterial, fungal, plant and animal kingdoms. Although many CAP superfamily proteins remain poorly characterized, over the past decade evidence has accumulated, which provides insights into the functional roles of these proteins in various processes, including fertilization, immune defence and subversion, pathogen virulence, venom toxicology and cancer biology. OBJECTIVE AND RATIONALE The aim of this article is to summarize the current state of knowledge on CAP superfamily proteins in mammalian fertility, organismal homeostasis and disease pathogenesis. SEARCH METHODS The scientific literature search was undertaken via PubMed database on all articles published prior to November 2019. Search terms were based on following keywords: 'CAP superfamily', 'CRISP', 'Cysteine-rich secretory proteins', 'Antigen 5', 'Pathogenesis-related 1', 'male fertility', 'CAP and CTL domain containing', 'CRISPLD1', 'CRISPLD2', 'bacterial SCP', 'ion channel regulator', 'CatSper', 'PI15', 'PI16', 'CLEC', 'PRY proteins', 'ASP proteins', 'spermatogenesis', 'epididymal maturation', 'capacitation' and 'snake CRISP'. In addition to that, reference lists of primary and review article were reviewed for additional relevant publications. OUTCOMES In this review, we discuss the breadth of knowledge on CAP superfamily proteins with regards to their protein structure, biological functions and emerging significance in reproduction, health and disease. We discuss the evolution of CAP superfamily proteins from their otherwise unembellished prokaryotic predecessors into the multi-domain and neofunctionalized members found in eukaryotic organisms today. At least in part because of the rapid evolution of these proteins, many inconsistencies in nomenclature exist within the literature. As such, and in part through the use of a maximum likelihood phylogenetic analysis of the vertebrate CRISP subfamily, we have attempted to clarify this confusion, thus allowing for a comparison of orthologous protein function between species. This framework also allows the prediction of functional relevance between species based on sequence and structural conservation. WIDER IMPLICATIONS This review generates a picture of critical roles for CAP proteins in ion channel regulation, sterol and lipid binding and protease inhibition, and as ligands involved in the induction of multiple cellular processes.

Abstract
Non syndromic orofacial clefts specifically non-syndromic cleft lip/palate are one of the most common craniofacial malformation among birth defects in human having multifactorial etiology with an incidence of 1:700/1000. On the basis of association with other congenital malformations or their presence as isolated anomaly, OFC can be classified as syndromic (30%) and nonsyndromic (70%) respectively. The major cause of disease demonstrates complex interplay between genetic and environmental factors. The pathogenic mechanism of underlying factors have been provided by different genetic studies on large-scale with significant recent advances in genotyping technologies usually based on linkage or genome wide association studies (GWAS). On the basis of recent studies, new tools to identify causative genes involved in NSCL/P reported approximately more than 30 genetic risk loci that are responsible for pathogenesis of facial deformation. Despite these findings, it is still uncertain that how much of variance in NSCL/P predisposing factors can be explain by identified risk loci, as they all together accounts for only 20%-25% of NSCL/P heritability. So there is need of further findings about the problem of rare low frequency coding variants and other missing responsive factors or genetic modifiers. This review will described those potential genes and loci reported in different studies whose involvement in pathogenesis of nonsyndromic OFC has wide scientific evidence.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Non-syndromic cleft of the lip and/or palate (NSCL/P) is one of the most common polygenic diseases. In this study, both case-control and family-based association study were used to confirm whether the Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) were associated with NSCL/P. METHODS A total of 37 nuclear families and 189 controls were recruited, whose blood DNA was extracted and subjected to genotyping of SNPs of 27 candidate genes by polymerase chain reaction-improved multiple ligase detection reaction technology (PCR-iMLDR). Case-control statistical analysis was performed using the SPSS 19.0. Haplotype Relative Risk (HRR), transmission disequilibrium test (TDT), and Family-Based Association Test (FBAT) were used to test for over-transmission of the target alleles in case-parent trios. The gene-gene interactions on NSCL/P were analyzed by Unphased-3.1.4. RESULTS In case-control statistical analysis, only C14orf49 chr14_95932477 had statistically significant on genotype model (P = .03) and allele model (P = .03). Seven SNPs had statistically significant on TDT. None of 26 alleles has association with NSCL/P on FBAT. Some SNPs had haplotype-haplotype interactions and genotype-genotype interactions. CONCLUSION C14orf49 chr14_95932477 was significantly different between cases and controls on genotype model and allele model by case-control design. Seven SNPs were significantly different on HRR. Four SNPs were significantly different on TDT.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Nonsyndromic clefts of the lip and/or palate (NSCL/P) are one of the most common polygenic diseases. Recently, many studies focused on the association between CRISPLD2 polymorphisms and NSCL/P risk. However, some studies have shown opposite results. In this study, meta-analysis was used to confirm whether CRISPLD2 polymorphism was associated with NSCL/P, and the possible mechanism between CRISPLD2 and NSCL/P was explored. METHODS Relevant studies were conducted on PubMed, Ovid, EBSCO, CINAHL, FMRS, Web of Science, CNKI, and Wanfang databases from their inception up to June 31, 2016. Review Manager 5.0.24 was used to analyze whether CRISPLD2 polymorphism was involved in NSCL/P by pooling odds ratios (ORs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs). Potential publication bias was evaluated by visual inspection of the funnel plot. RESULTS CRISPLD2 rs4783099 was associated with cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P) statistically (OR = 3.18, P < .01). Compared to genotype TT, genotypes CC and CT were correlated significantly (OR = 2.04, P = .04) with CL/P. No evidence showed an association between genetic variation at the CRISPLD2 locus and cleft palate only (CP). CONCLUSION The polymorphism of CRISPLD2 rs4783099 is correlated with an increased risk of CL/P.

Genetic Factors of the Disease Course after Sepsis: A Genome-Wide Study for 28Day Mortality. EBioMedicine 2016; 12:239-246. [PMID: 27639821 PMCID: PMC5078589 DOI: 10.1016/j.ebiom.2016.08.043] [Citation(s) in RCA: 38] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/24/2016] [Revised: 08/26/2016] [Accepted: 08/27/2016] [Indexed: 12/30/2022] Open
Abstract
Sepsis is the dysregulated host response to an infection which leads to life-threatening organ dysfunction that varies by host genomic factors. We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) in 740 adult septic patients and focused on 28 day mortality as outcome. Variants with suggestive evidence for an association (p ≤ 10− 5) were validated in two additional GWA studies (n = 3470) and gene coding regions related to the variants were assessed in an independent exome sequencing study (n = 74). In the discovery GWAS, we identified 243 autosomal variants which clustered in 14 loci (p ≤ 10− 5). The best association signal (rs117983287; p = 8.16 × 10− 8) was observed for a missense variant located at chromosome 9q21.2 in the VPS13A gene. VPS13A was further supported by additional GWAS (p = 0.03) and sequencing data (p = 0.04). Furthermore, CRISPLD2 (p = 5.99 × 10− 6) and a region on chromosome 13q21.33 (p = 3.34 × 10− 7) were supported by both our data and external biological evidence. We found 14 loci with suggestive evidence for an association with 28 day mortality and found supportive, converging evidence for three of them in independent data sets. Elucidating the underlying biological mechanisms of VPS13A, CRISPLD2, and the chromosome 13 locus should be a focus of future research activities. A low frequency missense variant in VPS13A on chromosome 9q21.2 was associated with 28 day mortality after sepsis A frequent intronic variant in CRISPLD2 was also supported and was reported to be associated with procalcitonin levels Similarly supported was an intergenic frequent variant on chromosome13q21.33 – a region related to chronic kidney disease
Sepsis is the dysregulated host response to an infection which leads to life-threatening organ dysfunction that is known to vary by host genomic factors. However, the detection of genetic variants related to sepsis outcomes has been challenging so far. We conducted a discovery genome-wide association study (GWAS) in 740 adult patients with sepsis looking for variants that vary with 28 day mortality. We followed-up our best findings by additional GWAS and exome sequencing data in 3544 adult patients and report three regions including the genes VPS13A and CRISPLD2 that were supported by our data and external biological evidence.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Variants in the cysteine-rich secretory protein LCCL domain containing 2 gene (CRISPLD2) and in the jumonji, AT-rich interaction domain 2 gene (JARID2) were previously shown to influence non-syndromic oral cleft susceptibility. Herein, we performed a case-control study to examine the potential association of single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in CRISPLD2 and JARID2 with non-syndromic cleft lip and/or palate (NSCL/P) in the Brazilian population. Given the ethnicity-dependent genetic predisposition to NSCL/P, we performed a structured analysis taking into account the genomic ancestry variation of each individual. METHODS Four SNPs in CRISPLD2 (rs1546124, rs8061351, rs2326398, and rs4783099) and four in JARID2 (rs915344, rs2299043, rs2237138, and rs2076056), that were previously reported to be associated with NSCL/P, were genotyped in 785 Brazilian patients with NSCL/P (549 with cleft lip with or without cleft palate-NSCL ± P, and 236 with cleft palate only-NSCPO) and 693 unaffected Brazilian controls. Genomic ancestry was assessed with a set of 40 biallelic short insertion/deletion variants previously validated as ancestry informative markers of the Brazilian population. RESULTS After adjustment of ancestry variations, allelic analysis revealed marginal associations between the CRISPLD2 rs4783099 T allele and increased risk for NSCPO (OR: 1.31, 95% CI: 1.05-1.62, P = 0.01) and between JARID2 rs2237138 and decreased NSCL ± P risk (OR: 0.80, 95% CI: 0.67-0.97, P = 0.02). Haplotype analysis indicated a lack of association between JARID2 haplotypes and non-syndromic oral cleft risk. CONCLUSIONS Our results suggest that CRISPLD2 rs4783099 may represent a risk factor for NSCPO while JARID2 rs2237138 shows a protective effect against NSCL ± P in the Brazilian population.

Abstract
The CAP superfamily member, CRISPLD2, has previously been shown to be associated with nonsyndromic cleft lip and palate (NSCLP) in human populations and to be essential for normal craniofacial development in the zebrafish. Additionally, in rodent models, CRISPLD2 has been shown to play a role in normal lung and kidney development. However, the specific role of CRISPLD2 during these developmental processes has yet to be determined. In this study, it was demonstrated that Crispld2 protein localizes to the orofacial region of the zebrafish embryo and knockdown of crispld2 resulted in abnormal migration of neural crest cells (NCCs) during both early and late time points. An increase in cell death after crispld2 knockdown as well as an increase in apoptotic marker genes was also shown. This data suggests that Crispld2 modulates the migration, differentiation, and/or survival of NCCs during early craniofacial development. These results indicate an important role for Crispld2 in NCC migration during craniofacial development and suggests involvement of Crispld2 in cell viability during formation of the orofacies.
